Has the system not saved yesterday's posts?

It seems that posts made over the last day or so have disappeared. Anyone know why?

There was a problem getting online an hour or to ago.
Seems they have disappeared since then.

It's probably worth a reminder that Spanner indicated a few months ago that he wouldn't have the time to devote to the site that he had previously.
I seem to remember at the time that he asked for someone to perhaps take over the hosting.

If the technical problems increase we really need to have some contingency plans in place to ensure the long term viability of the site.
It would be a shame to lose it.

I have only just looked in.  Nothing has appeared in the Dumpster since 18 Apr so posts haven't been deliberately deleted.

Everything seems to be working fine for me, apart from some of my recent posts disappearing, but we really need a more professional eye to look over the site since Spanner's retirement.

Hopefully, someone with the required knowledge will put their hand up ... or perhaps there's a teenager with some spare time  ::)

I had a server issue and had to revert and restore the backup from yesterday. This is why the posts are missing.

The whole site was migrated to my companies new server over the Easter weekend and this morning while carrying out some routine maintenance I majorly cocked up some settings.

Apologies, my mistake.
Drugs are bad, mmmkay...

No drama.
My posts were all rubbish anyway. ;D

Obviously there's some concern with the future of the site (see DJC's other thread) given your other commitments.
Probably the major issue is a lack of 'identified site maintenance 'expertise' amongst the current membership.
Unless we can flush that out or seek help with some day to day problems we may be in trouble down the track.
Has the change to the new server given us a bit of stability and perhaps breathing space.

Hey Lods,

The new server just provides additional processing power, more storage space and the latest operating system which by definition adds to security.

The site seems to be much quicker on the new server based on my limited testing, plus the new server is located in Australia rather than Singapore.
